Hello Dear Friends!
It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!
Diane is hosting today and as you can see by my blog title ... the theme is
HEARTS
HEARTS
Here is the fabulous mood board she has created to help inspire you . . .
You don't have to go with the neutral tones but I thought it would be a very clever and 'outside the box' Valentine's or even Wedding card if you did, so that's the direction I went in. Here's what I've come up with ...
I can't begin to tell you how much designer paper I have in my stash (way too much but I can't help myself! lol) ... So, I started looking through any paper pads that were neutral in color and polka dot in design. I found some really cool papers in these two older paper pads ... DCWV - The Basics Stack and Authentique 'Always'. The sentiment was also from the Authentique paper pad.
For my focus hearts, I've used the Tutti Designs 'Stitched Hearts' die set.
For my focus hearts, I've used the Tutti Designs 'Stitched Hearts' die set.
Awhile back I used the Frantic Stamper 'Heartfall' background die
on some cards which left me with a wonderful pile of various sized hearts on my work table. I've used a few here as embellishments. After rounding the corners on my sentiment panel, I've popped it up using dimensional tape.
Here's what Diane has up for grabs to one lucky random draw winner.
What a fun prize! So, come play along using our theme and YOU might be our random winner!!

ReplyDeleteDesign papers are my downfall too, but can you really have too many? Lol, I love it when you can pull out a bunch and have them look so good together. Your card is the best without the usual Valentine red.
ReplyDeleteThis is so romantic and lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have layered these beautiful muted tone DPs. I'm partial to stitched frame dies because they always look so clean and crisp. Your sentiment is beautiful. Gorgeous card, Darlene.
